Bernard Hale (died 29 March 1663) was a 17th-century English clergyman and academic, who served as Archdeacon of Ely and Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge.
Bernard Hale
Hale was the sixth son of William Hale of King's Walden, Hertfordshire.[1] The Hale family had made a fortune in London in the grocery business in the sixteenth century and then settled in Saffron Walden, where they were still living in Victorian times.[2]
He was a Fellow of Peterhouse 1632–34,[1] resigning the fellowship on the death of his father, which left him with a plentiful inheritance. He lived in London and then Norfolk, using his resources to provide for the local poor and for exhibitions for university students.[4]
In 1663 Hale was "seized with a paralytic stupor" for three days,[4] dying on 29 March 1663. He was buried the following day, in the chapel of Peterhouse.[1]
He was a considerable benefactor to Peterhouse both in his lifetime and in his will, bequeathing land valued at more than £7,000, endowing the organ scholarship, and providing for seven other scholarships.[3]
